    I can’t believe the difference!

    What’s the scoop on poop after a change in feed?

    New to chickens! Just got a few pullets a couple nights ago and they appear healthy. I had a bag of Purina layer pellets from when our ducks were still with us and so they ate that for a day until I could get to our local Bomgaars for chick starter. Switched to the chick starter last night...
